COPY the following line into a notebook cell: 
       from azure.cognitiveservices.vision.customvision.training import CustomVisionTrainingClient
EXECUTE the cell 

=> RESULT: VSCode will throw the following exception: 
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure'

### Any log messages given by the failure
>ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure'

Hello @markvogt,

First I sincerely apologize for my delayed reply. Also, thank you for that detailed explanation of how to reproduce the error.
So far, I have not been able to reproduce the error exactly. However, I believe that is due to something I am doing wrong on my end.

When I try to install the azure-cognitiveservices-vision-customvision package into my Python virtual environment, it is instead being installed to my user account and is thus visible everywhere. I do not know why that is happening. I agree that if the package is not visible in the environment (for example if it is not installed on my computer at all) then I see the same error message you are seeing. I will keep investigating this.

I asked around and a coworker suggested trying Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual) as they had never encountered problems with virtual environments there. Though I understand you are asking about Visual Studio Code and so I will keep trying to reproduce the issue there.

Thank you,
v-jaswel
